Go Green.

I attended the Kansas City Irish Festival over the weekend, and had a rollickin' good time drinking Pale and rockin' out to The Elders, whose song-writing I typically find to be just OK. One song this weekend, though, I did find to be well-written and, as is the norm with The Elders, wonderfully performed in front of a crowd of 20,000 or so crazy drunk Irish Kansas Citians. Here it is:

Right With The World

When the river flows up to the mountain
When the crooked turn into the curled
There’ll be plenty too many for countin’ my friend
When everything’s right with the world

When we ride off into the sunset
When the hero comes home with the girl
We’ll be ridin’ with queens in their long limousines
When everything’s right with the world

Not a word will be spoken in anger
We will hold every loving cup high
We will look our old enemies straight in the eye
As we drink to you and I

When the presidents fold up and go home
When the flags of the battle are furled
We’ll tear down the temples of concrete and chrome
When everything’s right with the world

When the arrows all fall away harmless
And the slings have already been hurled
We’ll unravel the road that we traveled from home
When everything’s right with the world

When the rumor turns into a reason
And the ghosts of rebellion have swirled
We won’t need any proof to follow the truth
When everything’s right with the World
